Mitzi Cowart

Mitzi Cowart breeds Nigerian dwarf goats in rural Louisiana and the New Orleans area. She has over fifteen years of experience, holds current membership in the American Dairy Goat Association, and performs annual health screening for CAE, CL, and Johne’s disease under veterinarian supervision. All goats live in pasture with regular rotation and access to shelter, while daily time spent among people helps them develop calm, friendly temperaments. Herds that include registered stock have earned multiple ribbon placements at state fairs, reflecting a focus on type and structure.

Young kids stay indoors through feeding time before joining the herd to ensure they adapt smoothly to handling. Animals receive mineral supplements and a balanced diet, with farrier visits scheduled quarterly to maintain hoof health. The farm traces its roots to a family homestead established in the 1970s, supporting sustainable farming practices across generations. Positive feedback from neighbors often mentions Mitzi’s thoughtful approach and genuine care for each goat’s well-being.
